In this video, a woman offends a black man (“diverse” person 1) with a stereotype (the handshake), and then because she feels so awkward Donna and Jodi advise her to act very submissive and apologize with her head on his shoulder (like a woman), and when she offends him again with another stereotype, Donna and Jodi advise her that she needs to out-diversify him by being a “wheelchair lesbian.”

In the past, being diverse was something that could hinder you, but now that companies are forced to embrace diversity, it’s something that people are using to their advantage.
